edit data

Ellen Meny is the author of "You Can't Go Back", a short story published in the anthology "Five Minutes at Hotel Stormcove". She has also published several other short stories and flash fiction pieces.

She enjoys exploring the human side of speculative fiction. Her work features dark humor, monstrous women, and protagonists with questionable morals.

When not writing, Meny is still writing, because she works as a television host and reporter in Washington, D.C. When she's legitimately not writing, she enjoys eating, running and reading. She has yet to do all three at the same time successfully.

Her literary influences include her former pet hamsters, Peachy Keen and Martini, and all of her fanfiction.net friends in middle school. ...more
